Resistance Terror

Vanessa Trump taken to hospital as precaution after white powder sent to her home

byTOM WINTERandJONATHAN DIENST

President Donald Trump's daughter-in-law was taken to a Manhattan hospital as a precaution on Monday after a suspicious letter containing an unidentified white powder was sent to her apartment, senior law enforcement and city officials told NBC News.

The letter was addressed to Vanessa Trump's husband, Donald Trump Jr., the eldest child of the president and his ex-wife Ivana.

After the letter was opened, three people at the residence were taken to New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center strictly as a precaution, the New York City Fire Department said.

There is no indication anyone suffered any injuries; the NYPD said the substance was deemed to be non-hazardous and was taken to a lab for further analysis.

"How disturbed must a person be to do what they did to a mother of five children?'' Michael Cohen, President Trump's personal attorney, said in a statement. "This dangerous and reckless act goes beyond political differences."

Lurkersusie:
Cohen said it best.
Imagine doing this to a mother of five children
These people must be stopped, jailed, put on trial and then incarcerated for the rest of their lives. They are not fit to live with civilized people.

Fr last thread... the Sandy Eggo State VP reflects metastisizing tumors in the American body politic.

And as the percentage grows, as it has been nonstop since the late 80s, we draw closer to a French Revolution type ANTIFA led killing spree in a college town or even a college dense metro area like NYC.

That flashpoint will be of scale on the order of magnitude of the TWATHAT march on DC. big numbers.

The armed backlash will lead to wholesale slaughter by Americans, like me, who will not give over our country to whoremongers, thieves, carpetbaggers, political grifters, hypocritical ngo's, non- profits, planning commissions, a micro- koolaid purveyors.

Regarding that Grassley letter to Susan Rice: I'm not sure that was a CYA from Rice. Not sure it isn't. And I do believe "memorialize" is fairly standard governmental usage, often used when contrary interpretations of directives or meetings are expected.

Is it possible Thomas Wictor's first suspicion (he was once fairly confident Rice was in with the good guys, General Flynn's crew) is on the mark and this documents Obama's duplicity (because, among other documents, there are other records indicating meetings with DOJ NSD members and FBI CID members) ???

As with my earlier deference to Comey, I'm bending over backwards here to look at the possibility she finally covered herself in glory; that she saw the madness sweeping over the Obama Administration and recognized these were multiple "bridges too far" for a National Security Advisor to traverse?

For someone who clearly followed all of the back and forth over the DOJ OIG's frustration with the Obama Administration and his subsequent statutory victory gaining additional powers, it isn't conceivable that she ignored that January 12th announcement . . . is it?

And, Flynn had to have extensive interaction with her during the transition . . . correct?

Maybe by January 20th she either recognized the jig was up (or was convinced of same by someone like Flynn) and then determined it was time to get right with God, and her country. Thus, you decide (or are convinced) to memorialize that eMail to yourself. After all, there's now no one from the Obama Administration to be hanging around you and asking awkward questions.

Additionally, we're still looking for people who flipped, right? And she would make a good candidate to try and flip, wouldn't she?

It's just exceedingly hard to believe that *all* of these people doubled down on stupid!

RG, sir William has a razor. That cuts all flippers out. Fewer assumptions in assuming they thought they would get away with it, and the dumber of them (aka Rice) putting a cover record down at the last minute.

EO on asset forfeiture for corruption is a very compelling stick for a flip, however that came a year later.

If they hate the police so much and the military with it, who would defend them? Would either obey orders even from the politburos of San Francisco, L.A. or New Orleans, say?

Watching Babylon Berlin of late, the breakdown of order happened on the streets of the major cities. I remember just outside the side door of the Bayerische Hof in Munich there is a memorial to a politician opposed to the Nazis who was assassinated on the spot in the late 20's.

Will it come to that? Listening to NPR, every story has an anti Trump angle. Stocks correct? Trump's apocalypse. Libs get spending and Republicans acquiesce? It's the undoing of Trump. Heads he loses. Tails he loses.

The media is in love with the propaganda minister of the most brutal regime in the world because Pence wouldn't recognize her nor her regime.

We have now seen one attempted assassination and a few assaults.

They have dreams of blood and glory, but I think it's not going to play out that way. Che died a fugitive and a failure and they never seem to get that.

RG--I usually agree with you--but Rice allowed herself to be the liar in chief too many times for me to believe this one.OTOH, like Priestap, she is independently wealthy and can afford to take this risk..Hmm--No. Not ready to accept that..

Matt--- the reason i think it *COULD* play out the ultraviolent way is the phenomenon of "accidental engagement" such as what happened with "The Guns of August" that launched the First World War.

The essential element for anarchy is to have would-be peaceful citizens *BRAINWASHED for nearly 3 Decades* incited to mass march----- with a core, and not so small group, of armed Black Shirts instigating violent rioting, which have been escalating around the country (e.g. election 2016 runup and the first 100 days.)

Police standing down, impact of #BLM, have set up tinderbox conditions. Property owners will not stand for it.

Size matters. And the Lefties here in Berkeley are stepping up their pro-anarcho rhetoric to levels I've never seen before. And the Antifa lunatics are in attendance at these gatherings where they congregate to STRATEGIZE.

Rice lied about Benghazi.
She lied about her role in the unmaskings
Then had to cover for it by talking to Andrea Mitchell and saying she did it.
Up to her ears in this latest scandal but looking for an exit ramp.

I’m just not able to give Susan Rice the benefit of the doubt on anything, really.

As far as I’m concerned, she is one of the biggest liars in DC. And similar to Jamie Gorelick in the sense that she leaves a trail of destruction in her wake everywhere she goes, yet keeps getting promoted to positions beyond her abilities.

RG: First things first. Your precision and discipline as a thinker and writer here within the JOM Pantheon have earned my highest regards. I trust your discipline as a debater too (especially when you doctor with just the right amount of cayenne pepper an arrow-point when needed.)

Having said all of this, I want to register a specific opinion about NatSec Advisor (AmbASSador my un know what) Rice's self-addressed email.

The quote by Obama regarding what "I am not saying" is such a rookie CYA statement. He follows with the second rookie CYA statement re the obvious re the FBI law enforcement supposedly going by the book.

Here's the rub, Barack. A significant number of Americans, who are not sleepwalking and numb from the shoulders up, *KNOW* for a fact that McCabe, Strozk et al changed the wording of Mr. Comey's public disclosure of Clinton's negligence to wrecklessness minus intent.

A minor point on how many people know this is wrong for cops to do. Even schoolchildren of my generation were taught to know better.

The Sisters of the Presentation who used yardsticks to enforce grammatic rules (which I don't follow to this day) reinforced the concept that one is *IMMORAL* when replacing fact with opinion in order to manipulate the laws of the land.

Back to NATSEC Advisor Rice's self-addressed stamped email in the Clearinghouse Immunity Sweepstakes.

It seems to me that Obama is attempting to suggest or insinuate--- and have Rice-a-Roni *LIE* for him at some point down the line.

Rice and her SASEmail set the stage for future obfuscation by creating an Obama fog about "what I am not saying."

So now Schiffless and the Dems may begin insisting that this latebreaking SASEmail demands further investigation at proving "what then President Obama 'was not saying.'"

To the Dems this is like my ol Uncle Fatty who had a favorite trick to get his 8 kids (all a year apart) to leave him alone when he was playing cards. He'd toss a handful of coins clear across Granpa's living room and start a free-for-all. Same deal here. Vintage Rat.

My rube radar told me when we found out that the FBI lice doctored Comey's Lie, an honest DOJ grand jury indictment would've knocked Clinton out of the race under a cloud.

Now Rice has made a move that has CYA value; not much but some given Grassley's questions (Miss Lindsay not sharp enough to have coined those).

But is it enough to sustain "plausible deniability?" Chapter and verse on how it does so I've not seen.

Occam the Razor is my guide here.

Obama spews a negative. The next step by one of his most loyal lieutenants (some have said paramour too) is to create some kind of faux journal "note to self", FBI style doctored 302 knock off, that obfuscates---and downright omits Barack Obama's intentions for SAYING so.

If I were investigating, I'd be setting up the work details to get every shred of NATSEC Rice's archives, phone records, emails, financial records and DC rolodex of law firms which protect her "privileges" not to disclose jack squat to Grassley now that he's putting his cards on the table.

I think Rice is a dead end cul de sac with lasting "...but what about the Rice email to herself where Obama is on record (joke) saying..." value.

And like any one of these top snakes, she is going to starve the oppo of credible evidence that it was the Rat's design and hers, ValJarr, Clapper, Brennan, Holder, Lynch's Comey's, Rosenstein's, Clinton's, et al's execution of Uranium One, the Clinton WhiteWash, and the FISA fiascos.

I think there will be some deals cut,but I would be stupefied if Sessions and Company settle for total immunity for only partial confessions (not everbody knew everything).

Not sure what the law says about sedition and plotting to overthrow a President, but in my limited understanding it's kind of like involved in the intent to murder("Oh Man!All I did was supply the ammo.")

Enough out of me. Just wanted you to know my thoughts directly. This makes my head hurt.

Progressives have a long history of supporting the World's most repressive regimes... It's hard to find a dictator the left hasn't supported: Chairman Mao, Hugo Chavez, Idi Amin. What do all these people have in common? They all hate America. #Tucker @FoxNews

Isn't it normal for a President to find out something regarding the FBI through the Attorney General? I hate to agree with RG on this but I can't think of any reason for Rice to write that except to point out Cock Curious's hands on involvement.

Now that Katranny has broken the spell, I'm wondering which of the alphabets will drop next. She used to be on ABC's Sunday gabby roundtables (admittedly this was a long time ago) so, if that's still the case, Raddatz is probably screaming like a banshee to the producer to "cancel all future appearances of that traitorous fucking whore" between prolonged crying jags.

1. So much for an FBI and DoJ as independent agencies--independent of the executive, that is. The preezy wanted to know everything and make sure his alleged-integrity was documented. (Ugh! Obama and integrity together is disturbing.)

2. Why was Yates at the meeting and not Lynch (of the tarmac with Clinton fame)? Was Yates fluffing her bona fides to be ready for the Resistance? Was Loretta buying presents for her imaginary grandchildren?

1. So much for an FBI and DoJ as independent agencies--independent of the executive, that is. The preezy wanted to know everything and make sure his alleged-integrity was documented. (Ugh! Obama and integrity together is disturbing.)

Both Cock Curious and Slick were terrible executives because they didn't know how to delegate anything because they'd always been fluffed as the smartest excuse for a man in the room. Even a lib acquaintance of mine used to rail about the lack of Clenis's cabinet meetings except to lie to them about banging the intern. I'm sure Zippy was even worse.

(25) "Former President Barack Obama pledged that he did not speak with FBI directors about pending investigations throughout his presidency in a 2016 interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace."

One of the reasons I love this board is the confident offering of contrary opinions by various contributors as we speculate about various things. So . . . KK / Clarice, in an attempt to help you "memorialize" this here thang, consider the below thread; it pays IMHO to read each tweet as food for thought. I'm definitely not alone in my possibility / probability thinking on Susan Rice (and BoE, she could have crafted it directly after that meeting and saved the draft or timed it to send on a date two weeks into the future):

(1) @ThomasWictor does a wonderful job tying some facts together about the strange email Susan Rice sent to herself just minutes before her final departure from the White House on Inauguration Day. I thought it worthwhile to highlight a few more points...https://t.co/SsGXGSL0cE

(13) The point is that being aware of the immediate actions following the January 5, 2017 meeting makes it very likely the self-email was a matter of conscious for Rice, and she could not rightfully in good faith stand by and watch America be taken down.

I respectfully submit y'all aren't fully accepting the timeline I presented. These people had lost their damn minds, were running off of a cliff at breakneck speed, and barely blinking in the face of TREASON while continuing to charge hard. Think about that.

I'm sorry, I don't believe it unthinkable that the woman stopped, said to herself, "Ain't this a bitch!" and then concluded as follows:

MM--> if Rice's SASEmail both proves and exonerates The Rat, it says to me that it accomplished it's mission: obfuscation, using Rice as a human firewall, and "trivializing the momentous by complicating the obvious."

I hope and I pray, the Rice Queen doesn't drag her feet (odds are she will in my casino) answering Senator Grassley's crafty questions. Only then would I have enough detail to determine which way the wind sucks on this demoralizing and pathetic display of National decay.

...and furthermore, it's been the question's been asked here on JOM: what would the Founders say?

I ask: what would the rebel militia have to "say" about the corruption of American political fortunes by 1000 Benedict Arnolds?

I think RG may be correct. Rice is SLEAZE, any of the L.E.O.'S here probably recognize this dishonest hack, because she's not even good at lying. HOWEVER, she wrote this COMEY-ESQUE memo on her last day SERVING JUG EARS. No need to please his skinny ass anymore, nothing to gain. It's CYA for SUSIE RICE and UNDER THE BUS JUG EARS.
Don't look at me, look at him. She licked his ass for 8 years, he no longer held sway.

I don't know what to think about that email Rice sent. Wictor has thought for a long time that she has switched. On the other hand, she has been involved in some of the worst things Obama did.

On this one, I am simply going to watch and see what happens.

I have seen nothing yet to disabuse me of the notion that they set out to frame Trump thinking Hillary was a shoe-in, and then had to hustle to make up a reason for all of their spying and fake documents.

However, I am not locked into that either, and if things turn out differently, I am not going to go all nutso trying to prove I was right. (That's the avenue the Never Trumpers have taken.)

Oh for God's sake, if you could keep pardons secret Slick would have never owned up to Marc Rich. It's bad enough that this holdover from royalty was rubber stamped by the Founders, although they probably assumed, erroneously, that they would be employed sparingly when subsequent data made it clear the jury had incomplete information.

I am still upset by the terror attack (and that is what it was) on Don Jr.'s family.

This entire family should have our gratitude and our prayers. They all assumed this burden.

I can think of no other family who would have done this. The Bush's? No, they wouldn't have received this level of attack because 1. Jeb would have lost and 2. If he had won, he wouldn't have been a threat to anyone on the other side.

This family is the very definition of sacrifice. I am very grateful to them all, especially the President and Melania.

Westminster Dog Show starts tonight. American Eskimo is the breed of our late beloved Biscuit. I guarantee that breed won’t win but if he had ever had the opportunity to walk the green carpet at MSG, he would have stole the show. Guarantee-damn-tee it.

I don't know if they've given up on Kabbalah Harris as being not ready for prime time ever, or maybe just not against DJT who would ridicule her stupidity ruthlessly. Beyond that their bench smells like dirty Depends and mildew.

All right, RG: here's the benefit of the doubt after reading your post more closely. (Please understand I am not taking issue with your position, as much as I am taking issue with Rice-a-roni's behavior, intent, and patterns of past behavior.)

I missed your qualifier here when you said:" As with my earlier deference to Comey,

I'm bending over backwards here to look at the possibility she finally covered herself in glory

; that she saw the madness sweeping over the Obama Administration and recognized these were multiple "bridges too far" for a National Security Advisor to traverse?"

So let's imagine her under cross on the stand: prosecutor Feldman asks--- So, NSA Rice, are you expecting us to believe that you, the official representative of the Obama administrative who was first to speak to the national "press" about the reason for the armed conflict at Benghazi, that resulted in the sodomizing and torture of an American Ambassador(the equivalent of a battlefield general, and an act of war on sovereign American soil), an act which your superiors watched on live feed, were briefed nearly moment by moment by boots on the ground regarding the desperation of each passing second, an act which you referred to as a "protest"===== are you expecting us to believe that you had a turn of conscience nearly 60 days following the defeat of Clinton and the election of a president who alleged he'd been spied upon, and who, in significant measure has had his allegation validated by revelations of FISA intel unmasking which you yourself engaged in as it was circulated to you?

Are we to "bend over backwards" to believe that your past pattern of behavior doesn't explain the present "memorializing" one re he DOJ and FBI? What about the U1 deal? Any of your fingerprints on the "memorializing" paperwork, or your hands of the reset buttons with President Vladimir Putito?"

RG---> I remain to give Rice-a-Roni a "yes" answer here. She was likely going to be a cog in the Clinton NATSEC machine. And unless the Obama insiders were aware of getting their asses beat into the ground after coming up with Manafort's "guilt" for his crimes against whom exactly, why would she move the body?

Rice is the consummate insider with the same blind spot as The Rat. She believed she was smarter than everybody--- especially Condi Rice.

I will read your comments in earnest to see if there is any yield to your efforts to theorize and postulate from the bending over backwards position. I turn things on their head. Sometimes I am fooled.... like i did with Rosy Stein, calling him a foul name in disgust, then taking it back after reading that his FISA request may not have been with malice. So I did a wait and see.

Then more came out and I of the firm opinion that he is the biggest duck in this puddle on the domestic side (because he is hiding in plain sight).

Like the ol' Spiritual says: "We will seeeee!"

Good exchanging views with you.

Time permitting I'm going to paste your next set of comments from downthread to report back on manana. My brain hurts. :>)
